Hi guys! Its that time again when my computer starts to keep on overheating and every new game runs like crap.

So i've been thinking of getting a next generation console, thing is i dont want to throw out a few thousands ringgits for a hdtv. Is a normal 20 something inch tv capable of displaying the awesomeness of the xbox 360 games? Please share your thoughts on this and maybe some of you have even try it on a normal tv before.

Thanks.

there's alot of xb360 owner here running it on normal tv. and it will still looks more awesome than xbox/ps2 games.

or you can also play it on pc monitor. there's a vga cable for xb360.

Get GRAW, it looks awesome enough on your normal tv.

IMHO, its not the problem of worth it or not. It's the problem if u are gonna 'use' it frequently. If u buy it for the sake of 'coz ppl have it, I must have oso'. Then might as well kepp the money to upgrade ur pc. If not, then buy it. The more u think the more confuse u get.

ive played it on a CRT tv,LCD tv,and Plasma tv.

the best is definitely an HDTV plasma tv.But the only thing that lacks in the CRT tv is the 16:9.But some of them now produce 16:9 instead of 4:3.

U can always get a refurbished CRT monitor like bro Judge.It has fast refresh rates too.

what is GRAW??sorry 4 this noob q

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Like Jenn mentioned if ur priority was on just how good the graphics look then u probably should consider upgrading ur PC instead.

that said, even with plain composite cables on a normal tv the image is already breathtaking. the moment u see the bootup screen u'll know there's something different about the display!

bro, we're in the boat...
stopped pc gaming when newer games ran slow on my pc, that was nearly 2 years ago..
all i can say, proud xbox v1 owner, still funding for my xbox 360....
bro, no need hdtv for xbox 360 if forking out a bomb for new hdtv...
your pc monitor is great for xbox 360...get the xbox 360 premium, vga all the way....
worth the money spent....

but remember console can last u longer compare PC

always keep upgrade
some more XBOX 360 is abt RM 1400 ++ still cheaper u buy one ATI X1900XT or Nvidia 7900 GTX right hhehehe how long can last 1 year or 2 years but XBOX 360 i think u can play for at least 5 years

if u can wait , just wait for Mod chip me now just play XBOX first i also from PC to console

Thanks guys...now another problem. The games....well you see if you are a pc gamer, you know where to get those games. But console on the other hand....haiz....you know la...currently i dont think there is that kind of market out there yet though. I may be wrong.

oh yeah...if xbox 360 can connect to monitors..then can it use a pc speaker system? And how much is a 360 ori game cost?

Thanks. Appreciate it.

to use pc speaker, you'll need one of those RCA-to-headphone jack converter. anywhere also got sell it for less than RM5.

Asian game for RM160. higher price for JP and US game.

if im not mistaken djinn sells a hd vga cable that can be used fr ur normal CRT monitors and it even allows u to plug ur pc speakers to it. Its going fr around RM120+ only...ive already ordered one and im just waitin to go pick it up...maybe i'll give u a review on it if ur interested

of course..thanks. So officially is the xbox360 launch in malaysia yet? I'm going to australia soon, thinking to get it here first though. Think its cheaper since everything is cheaper in malaysia compare to australia.

if im not mistaken, Aussie 360s are PAL version. and i think PAL game cost you a bomb in malaysia. I suggest you get the Asian set instead since the game for Asian region cost around 150-160 RM.

please,think of original. anyway, you will notice the differences of getting original instead of pirated for 360 once you get your hands on it.

but since your goin to australia,better get your console there,because most pal games are not region free.And theres no asian or us games on sale there.but its like heaven to me,because im using a PAL 360.im still here in melbourne though

Hi psp boy! So how much does the aussie 360 cost and the games too? Would really like to know... I'm totally new to the console world. Been a pc gamer since forever. NTSC PAL ?????

So another thing, will the 360 play xbox games? Even the **ahem** ones?

huhuhuhh the ehem is not yet avalable looo

Xbox original games only But not all games. Microsoft says "the best ones" are backwards compatible
